#GM To Deploy Thousands Of Autonomous #Bolts In 2018 General Motors is set to introduce thousands of self-driving Bolt models in test fleets beginning in 2018.Reuters
has learnt that the autonomous Bolts will be rolled out in partnership
with ride-sharing service Lyft and will be the largest test fleet of
autonomous vehicles before the year 2020.

According to a source close to the matter, most of the advanced
Chevrolet Bolt prototypes will be used in Lyft’s ride-sharing fleets
across a number of different states. At this stage, there are no plans
to introduce the autonomous Bolt to individual customers.

In a statement, General Motors
refused to provide specifics about the yet-to-be-announced plan but did
confirm its intention to roll out self-driving technology to
ride-sharing fleets.

“We do not provide specific details on potential future products or
technology rollout plans. We have said that our AV technology will
appear in an on-demand ride sharing network application sooner than you
might think,” the company confirmed.

As of late last year, GM was testing approximately 40 autonomous Chevrolet Bolt models in the streets of San Francisco and Scottsdale, Arizona.
